More water means "fertility". The swamps and lakes south of the Huaihe River are divided into two parts by the fertilizer and water.
The water area of the two places is very different. To sum up, Feixi has a lot of water, and Feidong... has more water.
The rough topographic map that President Li has in hand does not include the big puddle "Chao Lake". Judging from Li Jie's impression flow, the "Chao Lake" he probably recognizes is only a part of Peng Lize.
How big is the entire water area of Pengli Ze? Starting from "Chao Lake" in the north and ending at "Poyang Lake" in the south, such a vast water area with the Yangtze River flowing through it is Pengli Ze.
This is the reason why the two sides did not choose to fight on land and water in the Yangtze River and Penglize during the battle between Wu and Chu.
Small boats come in and can easily be wasted.
Therefore, during the Wu-Chu struggle for hegemony, the Huai River was the most traveled waterway by the Wu fleet.
Huaishui's temper is bad, but compared with the Yangtze River, this is just a delicate little mushroom, which is called delicate.
"Where the Dongsha River in Shaopi enters the Huaihe River, there is a low-lying land about a hundred miles long. To the southeast is Dongfeishui."
"Building a dam to cut off the water, the two banks of the East Feishui River can divert the inflow to Feishui, and finally merge into the Huaihe River."
"Which river is southeast of Xiarui?"
"God cuts off the water."
"The head of Shenduanshui is the northern end of the Shahe depression in the east of Shaopi."
After announcing the start of military training, large troops began to enter Huainan. The ferry at Huaizhong City was immediately stopped, and a large number of ferry boats were directly operated, because Huaizhong City directly built a pontoon bridge to connect the north and the south.
A large number of slave workers on the construction sites in Huaibei followed most of them into Huainan.
At this time, there were many construction sites and camps on the Huainan Embankment, and there were ten or twenty storage yards for bamboo, wood and stone. Boats traveling from various places were dragging a large number of floating rafts behind them.
The top, bottom, left and right sides of the floating rafts are tied with thick and long moso bamboos, and thousands of them can be transported at one time.
After these moso bamboos were transported to Huainan, they were immediately processed into the frame of Datongpu.
Yinxiang construction workers who have experience in the construction of "Daxie" have no problem building scaffolding and Datong pavilion.
In addition to temporary housing, the rammed earth buildings in Huainan's old villages were expanded and transformed into engineering headquarters.
At the same time, according to the current flow, a large number of large waterwheels were set up on the shore. The function of the large waterwheels was mainly to make woven bags.
There are two types of materials for woven bags, one is thatch and the other is straw.
After filling with soil, it can be used as the wall core for temporary dam construction.
What Li Jie can currently do is only a clay core gravity dam. As long as a super large reservoir is not built, it is more than enough to "drainage and increase farmland".
As long as the useless lakes on both sides of Dongfeishui are drained and drained, the rest will be dredging and plowing the fields.
And the whole project was not done randomly. After exploring the topography of Huainan, Li Jie roughly judged that the long and narrow depression of Dongsha River might overlap with "Wabu Lake".
With the current level of organization, it is unlikely that it will be as large as "Wabu Lake", but if it is reduced, it will be more than enough.
By stacking labor hours to play with mud and building dams at hilly passes to block water, it is basically certain that this section close to the Huai River can increase rice fields by more than one million acres.
In fact, the best project location is in the land of Qunshu. Once successful, the water area of the mediation will be directly expanded to a large area north of the Yangtze River.
It's a pity that this is just a delusion. If you want to achieve this kind of super project with pure human power, you only need to think about the terrifying 1.8 million cubic meters of earth and stone to stop this idea.
This is not an achievement that Li Jie can achieve.
No matter how much he can afford to eat, President Li is still a bit pushy after all.
The major project of "draining water and increasing farmland" focuses on mobilizing people's power to carry earth and build dams. The technical requirements are not high, but the organizational requirements are relatively high.
At the same time, we can also use this big project to directly annex the remaining remnants of the Chao Kingdom.
The area east of Dongfeishui is called "Juchao". It was originally the capital of the Chao Kingdom. Wu and Chu both destroyed the Chao Kingdom several times, causing the Chao Kingdom's city to decline.
In fact, the place "Juchao", even twenty or thirty years ago, was considered a wealthy county in the two countries of Wu and Chu.
Fifty years ago, it was no worse than the Gusu Royal City of Wu State.
A hundred years ago, in terms of rich products, the capital of Ying, Chu State, was not as good as "living in a nest".
One hundred and fifty years ago, Emperor Zhou would ask Chen and Cai to join forces from time to time to attack.
Add another hundred or so years to this, and the Emperor of Zhou will have to send out "Zhou Shi" to dismember the Chao Kingdom.
On both sides of the Huai River, the Xu State was not the only one who had pretended to be king. The Huainan Chao State was also no ordinary person.
In order to ensure the stability of the Huaihe River Basin and prevent regional small powers from becoming small tyrants, the Zhou Dynasty eventually dismembered the Chao Kingdom into two countries.
The first is Chao Kingdom, who was named Chao Bo.
The second is the Lu State, which was named Luzi.
Whether "nest" or "lu", they both mean housing and have the same origin.
Emperor Zhou dismembered the Chao Kingdom, so that the Huainan region was stable. Later, when Wu Chu became rich, he happened to be caught in the middle, so he became the unlucky guy.
The destruction of the Chao Kingdom was actually doomed hundreds of years ago.
With the fall of the Chao Kingdom, the decline of Juchaoyi became a matter of course. It was not until the ceremonial guard of Huai Shuibo of the Great Wu Kingdom suddenly appeared east of Shapi that the "remnants" of the Chao Kingdom began to feel palpitations, fearing the wild dogs of the Wu Kingdom.
Come and bite them again.
Recently, the security forces in Huaizhong City have gradually narrowed the encirclement circle, driving the Yihu and Jingman people into two narrow areas respectively.
The nesting place was originally a place where the Yihu people could come and go freely, but with the division and siege, and the use of all means to control supplies, the Yihu people had to choose a safer place to move.
Even though he knew that it was definitely a dead end, there was nothing he could do about it, because if he didn't circulate it, he would perish on the spot.
The gathering place of Yihu people is getting closer and closer to Juchaoyi.
The locals are aware of the activities of barbarians and savages, and the security risks have soared, making the "remnants" of Chao Kingdom feel extremely complicated.
They were afraid that Li Jie would go on a killing spree, and they were also afraid that the Yihu people would jump over the wall in a hurry. It would be impossible for them to bite Li Jie before they died. If they bite Li Jie in Chaoyi, they can still become a dead ghost.
The engineering team and the security forces were welcomed into Juchaoyi together.
The local leader of the Yan Chao clan did not display the dignity of a former Chao country official or country scholar, and his attitude was quite low. These members of the Chao clan were not people with little information.
Starting from Juchaoyi, go along the river from south to north, and after crossing the Huai River, you will reach Huaizhong City.
Just the free trade among the people is enough for Juchaoyi to clearly feel that the rulers of Huaizhong City are completely different from those of Wu and Chu.
Before Huaizhong City, it was Zhoulai City, and Juchaoyi was originally under the jurisdiction of Zhoulai City. Now that Huaizhong City sent Yun Zhenlu, the Yuanzhoulai doctor, the people of Juchaoyi breathed a sigh of relief.
Obviously, this is not to massacre them. If it were to massacre them, Yun Zhenlu would not be sent.
But I was still worried, because with Yun Zhenluo, the "escape doctor", there was also Sha Zhongha, who had seen blood in five steps.
"Jun Yunzhen, the land in Juchaoyi is very flat. If it is used for farming, it will definitely be highly productive."
Shaha, who was fat and tall, put his hands on his hips and picked up a telescope to look around. Everywhere he saw was extremely fertile land, with a large number of natural rivers interspersed in it. There was a pond or small lake every three to five miles.
As a native of the desert, Shah feels that such land is Shangtian.
The cultivated rice fields in Yinxiang only weigh about a hundred kilograms per scene, and only after composting can they weigh up to two hundred kilograms.
But Shah felt that the rice fields in Yinxiang were far inferior to the land in front of him.
How could such a treasure land allow the Chao Kingdom to fall to such a state? Not only was it disintegrated and destroyed, but even the nation could not find a few decent ones.
"Doesn't Zhong Ha know that this Juchaoyi city was a big granary between Wu and Chu fifty years ago?"
"Fifty years?"
After blinking, Shaha was confused and said, "Fifty years ago, my father was not even born."
Shaha calls "father" "dad" in Shaye dialect, and Shaha is so rude as soon as he opens his mouth that Yun Zhenlin can't bear it.
Looking a little embarrassed, Lao Yunzhen suddenly asked: "Zhong Ha, is your father still in Jiangyin?"
"died."
Shaha put down the telescope, then turned to look at Yun Zhenlin, "Shou Li said that he will help build a tomb in the future. If the repair starts, Yun Zhenjun can help write a word, okay?"
"There is nothing you can't do."
Lao Yunzhen felt even more deeply about the situation of the "Baisha" savages. Basically, there were very few people over forty who were still alive. They were born much earlier, but they also died much younger.
Yun Zhenlu admired Li Jie more and more for being able to select a genius like "Second General Heng Ha" from hundreds of thousands of savages.
Phoenixes hatched out of the chicken coop, not just one or two.
Looking back, I saw that the crocodile men and brave men who accompanied the escort had already begun to build a camp outside Juchaoyi.
From now on, in addition to being the headquarters for encircling and suppressing the Yihu and Jingman tribes, this place was also the headquarters for the southern line project of the "Drainage and Land Increase" project. The person in charge of this work was Yun Zhenlu.
Not only did the elderly Yunzhen not think this was a chore, but he felt that this was a step that Li Jie truly trusted him.
Yunzhen clan, Yun clan has many young disciples accompanying them. Whether they can "make great achievements" this time depends on how much hardship their sons and daughters can endure.
"Work hard."
Old Yunzhen sighed with emotion, and Shaha laughed and said: "Since the first Li has made contributions, he will be rewarded and his faults will be punished. Since he came to the south to live in Chaoyi, he will have to work hard for a living. Don't worry, Mr. Yunzhen!"
"ha."
He opened his mouth and laughed, and Yun Zhenlu cupped his hands towards Shaha, obviously agreeing with this statement.
Precisely because merit must be rewarded and fault must be punished, this is the great opportunity for the Yunzhen family. If he were still in Yunmengze, if he was still a doctor in the state, Yun Zhenlu would even be a little desperate. If he stayed in Chu State, he would
If such a marginalized veteran doctor wants to take care of younger generations, how many people can he take care of?
Nowadays, although the construction period is tight and dangerous, but when I think that I will be rewarded for my efforts, I feel much calmer.
